Now, try to hold the tendency to become excited with all the tasks before you. The first of which is complying with the requirements of HR or Accounting such as the TIN. You ought to have a TIN now. So, ask yourself, do you fill up a particular form and head off to the next RDO in sight? Wait, hold that thought. If you missed the blog post on TIN registration for students: Things you should know when applying for a TIN, I suggest you read it.

However, before you get all too excited to submit your form which simply declare that you don’t have a TIN yet, take careful thought and try to answer these:

ð Have you been issued a government ID?
ð Have you inherited a property?
ð Were you a recipient of a significant donation in cash or in kind?
ð Have you been employed part time?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then ask yourself if you were told to apply for a TIN and were issued one but couldn’t seem to remember. I would suggest you go to the process of due diligence to avoid violation on multiple TINs, ask your parents or guardians.

If you are sure you have one but could not locate it, then, you can call the BIR Contact Center at (02) 981-8888 and inquire about your TIN. And while you’re at it, you can also inquire from them of your registered RDO.
